Specialty home retailer Kirkland’s Home has appointed a new chief financial officer. Mike Madden will fill the position effective Sept. 1.

Prior to Madden's first stint at Kirkland's Home, he was the assistant controller at Trammell Crow Company, an independently operated subsidiary of CBRE, the world's largest real estate services firm. Madden also previously served as a manager in assurance and business advisory services at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, where he worked with public and private clients operating in the retail and consumer products industries. Madden holds a bachelor's degree in accounting from the University of Memphis.

"We are pleased to welcome Mike to Kirkland's Home to lead the finance side of our organization during this transformative period," said Steve "Woody" Woodward, president and CEO of Kirkland's Home. "Having a proven executive with extensive financial prowess will be invaluable as we continue to navigate the current macroeconomic challenges. As a veteran of the company, Mike brings a high level of familiarity with our accounting and financial controls, along with the broader operations, that we feel is critical for a swift and seamless transition into the role of CFO. We are confident that he will be a stabilizing force for our overall team and integral to our transformation efforts as we embark on the next chapter of our journey."
